lyrics

I was younger when I learned my trade,
a bit of thieving in the shopping arcade,
saw a man giving me the eye,
on my way out as I tried to get by,
I felt a bit sick, when he said "nick nick"
I never noticed that they had an alarm,
Dad blew his top, at the cop shop,
I've got a record that's as long as your arm.

I'm a bad boy,
I'm a bad, bad boy,
I'm a bad boy,
I'm a bad, bad, bad boy.

Now I'm older and I'm in my prime,
no desire to be doing time,
In and out since I was fifteen,
Dad is happy but my Mums not keen,
'cos I'm a nomad, not doing too bad,
a dozen girls in as many towns,
business thriving, duck and diving,
the CSA cannot pin me down.

Chorus

You stand before me guilty as charged and it would give me great pleasure in sentencing you to the maximum punishment bestowed by this court befitting your crimes. However, after receiving psychiatric evaluation and probationary reports, you will do 250 hours community service and pay costs of £100
